Christmas. What a special day. Such a special day to have been able to spend with those dear to me. Not having had a big family, Christmas get together in a few years wasn't my favorite.. but goll was I glad that this year we did indeed. Two days in a row of Christmas celebration. Both spent with family full so many special moments and laughter. At the end of Christmas, a few of us shared our three favorite moments of the day.. these were mine..
also, these precious moments that i captured were some favorites. thank you Father for sending Your Promise for redemption.
I am grateful for my momma adding more twinkle lights to our tree so that it shines brighter, a Christmas movie night (It's A Wonderful Life-White Christmas-Polar Express), and eggnog.
listen to this video and let your soul be lifted. this song though.
"my prayer life was simply 'i love you.' I don't understand you, but i love you. Lord do not leave me alone.. I have got to know You. I have got to see You. I have got to have You. and I want everything You've got for me.. Lord do not leave me to myself. Interrupt my life if You have to, test me if You have to, but come to me.. visit me.. reveal Yourself to me."
Today I had plans to spend time with my dear friend Lexi. We knew our friend Isaac was working at Cafe 420 downtown.. so we made the decision on the spot to walk down and pay him a visit. We were immediately greeted with a home-like atmosphere and the aroma of coffee. To warm up our frozen bodies, our friend bought us each a mug of caramel coffee. We spent time conversing and meeting new friends down at 420.. the place to be. Really though, you should check it out. .adventure420. the air was brisk the sidewalk was ice the 420 was like a home the caramel coffee was a gift the walk back was a bitter trek the conversation was real the heart was warmed .adventure420. beautiful And then after walking in the blistery weather back to my home.. I found a letter in my mailbox from a kind, unknown soul. It was a sweet card that said 'check the refrigerator :)' I went to the refrigerator to find this special treat. I am oh so thankful for this thoughtful gesture that warmed my heart on this very cold day.

This life is not my own and so I choose to take the hand of the One who knows what lies ahead. Along the way we sing, we dance, we are learning portuguese and living in Brazil, and always gazing on beauty.^^^^
